Time time got past me. Wow, you said you were gonna do more. I did, I did, and I then that was my bad. But you know, one day we'll be back to normal. Yeah, as we always say. Okay, if you are not a Patren member, you didn't hear me trying to decide what movie to go watch. Everyone else will have helped me decide by the time this is out.

We love receiving them, and we're actually gonna listen to one today. I finally pulled up the voicemails. This Spookie hotline. Well, that Spooky Tale my m o kyo, so I owned photography Plato, not the uh E today Arlington. That's where the story takes twice to day. I always had pookie. Stuff happened to me, but I grew up in a Christian household, so it wasn't really it wasn't really validated. You know, I'm not Christian anymore. So looking back on these experiences, I'm like, my probably definitely haunted. Like that would fall from the. What that would fall from my brother's closet, like board games and stuff all at once, not just like one at a time, but well sometimes there was one at time, but they would all remember other than there. One time they all came down at once. I'm like, oh, right out there and the floor is creating vegeta. That was the wooden moving. But now they know if you avoid in the floor, stool creeks. I'm like, what, I'm pretty sure I fellow ghost to my dog there too, anyway, and then a ghost rashly a alien story. Yeah, I was driving back with my mom from a volleyball game that I was announcing. I was in high school and didn't have a car, so she had to drive me. But yeah, that's embarrassing, but I uh, we were in the car and our stop sign I was from the radio going off, and my mom's like, I came up the car. I'm like, that's weird. I'm like when I look outside and so I look up and I you know, stars are out last night, I see one started kind of moving and getting closer and getting bigger and bigger. I'm like, oh my god, I'd feed the big zagging and I'm like, oh my god, Mom look at this like, oh my god, I didn't say that. Was old one. Uh yeah, it dig zagged away and then just like that, it was gone, and then the car started working again and we went on our way. That's my spooky tale. Thank you so much for taking my time, and Michael, I love your podcast. Wait, I kind of love how we told that. No, for real, I love how you told us that story. Thank you so much for leaving it in a voicemail. Honestly, that was the best way to receive this story. It was. It was really was. I don't think there could have been a better delivery. I don't know, I really don't, but yeah, I know that was a UFO for sure. Oh yeah, funny because one of my stories from Chihuahwa today an alien story. So that was very excited when I found it. Okay, on today's episode, we are sharing myths and legends from Chihuahua, and we've already done like two of the most famous Chihuahua stories. La Pascuala, Yeah that is Chihuahua and that was very early. Yeah she is. And then last ye do you remember that one? Yeah? Yeah, in the Statue episode that was were you officially a host? Were you so guested on that episode? So it was one of the all I know, Okay, it was, like I said, one of the first that you were officially the host, co host. I'm not sure you're still the unofficial official I don't think was there though, So no, it was just the two of us. Yeah, but yeah, So those are probably the most well known Chihaa stories, but like there's always more so of course, and so we're starting with the children's cemetery. Don't like that? Just a few meters away from Francisco Tores Boulevard, in the middle of a modern middle class upper class middle slash upper class neighborhood, upper middle class it's called you dump. Wow, thank you. Let's start from the top in the middle of a what upper middle class, upper middle class. In the middle of upper middle class neighborhood in there's a super hunted cemetery known as its real name is Panton Senecu, and it dates back to just before the Mexican Revolution. The inhabitants of this neighborhood, the people of El Vaje Dejuarees, they couldn't make it to the municipal cemeteries like Santra Fael. They were too far away to carry their dead loved ones, and so they began to bury them in Senegu instead. They just like, this is a cemetery now, when they started burying their loved ones there. I did see another source that said the cemetery dates back to the beginnings of the nineteenth century and was built by the beetle people of Senecu, and the majority of those buried are actually adults and not children, and both can be true either way. There are both children and adults buried there, some say mostly children. And it's no longer an active cemetery like in use today. It's been abandoned. It's open to the public in the middle of this neighborhood. It kind of looks out of place if you look it up. I should have stream. That makes sense that it looks like it's out of place. It does. The houses were built like around this cemetery that was already there. It's kind of creepy, yes, And you could see the really nice looking houses behind, like, oh, there's no walls or fences or like a gate, like an entry gate, you know, like other cemeteries have. It's just there, like if it weren't for the crosses adorning graves, it would be confused for like a vacant lot. Well, yeah, I couldn't find when it became abandoned. Just then, at some point it happened, and since then people have said that it's haunted. Yeah, the worn out tombstones, the dead grass and growing weeds, and children's toys laying around everywhere. It gives it a very creepy vibe. Yeah. I'll put pictures in the video and I'll try to remember to post some on Instagram. Those who walk by a night have heard the laughter of children, only to turn and see no one there. Some have even seen shadows of children playing in the cemetery at night. They're looking up from their fancy, expensive houses like what's up? Oh my god, I imagine you're like in your house, look out the window. Yeah, that's what they did. That's what happened to them. But one of the most popular legends told about this children's cemetery is that if you park your car outside of the cemetery at night, leave it there, leave return, it will be full of little handprints. Why you would try this? Like, why would you go? I don't know, I don't know. I don't want to know, you know what I mean. Yeah, those who live in the surrounding neighborhoods have heard knocking in the middle of the night and when they answer the door, no one is there, and they think it's the spirit of these kids. Oh wow, yes, crapy very I wouldn't want to go check it out. No, that was the children's cemetery. A noise, but also not right right right next we have like sant Saminis. Yeah. So this took place in Meoki, Chihuahua, in the middle of the state of Chihuahua, with a population of fifty thousand. Within the municipality, there are four hundred and sixty four localities or pueblos if you will. These are Sida, Mejoki, Las Ro, Cardenas, Esasion, Consuelo, Colonia, Filippe Angeles, Juadalupe, Victoria, and Las Pents, home to the Contos or Joyi's indigenous peoples. The city of Meyoki was named after General Mejoki Magnon, who lost a fighting against the French in Paral in eighteen sixty five. It's forty five minutes from Chihuawa and like all of Chihuahua, this area did see a lot of action during the Mexican Revolution, which is where the legend of La Casa del Alcado comes from. According to legend, the owner of this house was a rich man with a lot of land, someone who benefited from the Portfiriato. No wonder, he was a um Alcado. This became a legend. He became a legend. Yes, And as a Mexican revolution broke out, he decided he had to flee, but he wasn't fast enough. The revolutionary Getta Yea arrived and he was cornered. He decided to run to a tree on his property and hang himself. It was better to him. It was better than whatever faced him in the hands of the revolutionaries. This tree is still growing and locals are afraid to go to this abandoned house because they say that the soul of this man will curse you if you set foot in his former property. I'm sorry it was not enough that he was like rich in life. He still has a curse people in the afterlife. That's rich people for you, right. Once cursed, you will continue to experience the paranormal. If that doesn't scare you and you actually go inside, then there's another curse. No curse squared. Wow, there's a staircase inside the house. These stairs have a bunch of names written on them, and if you step on your name, you will die. Okay if you have a super unique name, I think you're good. I'm not save, I'm not save. No neither am I no? And if you're Maria less safe j Yeah? Done. Yeah. According to legend, you can cure the cars. Oh. To do that, you have to hang a rope in the tree and then wait for it to swing five times on its own or can you like give it a nudge? No, on its own? Okay, but others say you can't give it as the cars at all, so well, yeh screwed? Okay, all right then never mind, I guess and Corto don't go to this house is what I'm getting, and summation, don't go there. Okay, I will keep that in mind. And it looks creepy to I'll put pictures in the video and on Instagram maybe, okay. And our next story is Los Monitos Meoki the Monkeys, the Little Monkeys of Meoki. So yeah, the Tree of the Hanged Man. That's not all that's in milky, because there's another story here that was very popular. On October twenty seventh, nineteen eighty seven, four children were playing and then patio of a house located on the street Francisco in Madero in La Colonia and Barrio Nuevo. And these kids were twelve year old Serjio Alonso Lira Roblez, eleven year old Javier Valenzuela, and seven year old Mario Cosme albides Espanel and his brother his twin brother, not real twins, they were the other kind of twins. What are they fraternal? Turn you didn't even say, I'm like fraternal, Yes, thank you. Yes, they were fraternal twins. So his brother was William Cosme alvides Espanel and both were seven. Of course, William went by WILLI on that day, they saw a red light and then seven little beans. Oh sorry, there are five little beans, and I wrote, no, there four for little beings. Anyway, on that day they saw a red light and then they saw these four little beings come out from holes on the ground. And when they saw the red light, they felt numb and they wanted to run, but they couldn't move. Oh my god, one of these kids fainted, and the rest were about to run. They were about to leave the fainted kid there like I got their own. Yeah, you're on your own. But they heard the monitos, the little things, the little beings, tell them not to run, and then they ran anyway, but they paused momentarily to listen to these creatures. Matrio and Walie told their parents what had happened when they got home, and of course the parents didn't believe them. But then more and more similar reports were coming from the children of Mioki, and these monitos were described to be fifteen centimeters tall. What is that like like a smurf? I don't maybe just guessing twelve centimeters foot so yeah, yeah, so okay, something like smurf, Like, yeah, smurf sized. They were gray, though not blue. They had skinny arms and legs, and I guess they were just skinny all together because their bodies were skinny too. So yeah, they would just see these little sticks with huge heads. Oh yeah, and they had big red eyes lined for a nose and like no lips, just what seemed like a slot for our mouth. Okay, mm hmm. Yeah. We could probably draw this, because I couldn't find pictures of the kids drawings. But we'll try to draw it, and we'll put our attempt at this on right now. You're drying it right now. Perfect skinny arms, huge hands, they have three fingers on each hand. Do they have long arms? Skinny arms, yeah, just skinny arms. I don't know how long they are. Are you ready? Let's see it? Yeah, right, that's what the kids saw, exactly that right there. Beautiful masterpiece there. Yeah, I love it. So yeah, that's what they saw. Some of these beings. Actually now I'm starting to take them. There might have been seven of them. They all say them, how many are there? I'm not sure anymore? Anyway? Seven four to seven actually yeah. Some of them had blonde patches of hair, others were bald, and they had a big red circle on their chest. And these beings also had the ability to turn invisible when anyone tried to take a picture of them. What and they could speak perfect Spanish, so okay. The monitos told the children that they were on earth to study its people and that they liked the climate in Mioki. I don't know what the weather is like there, but these little monitos liked it. The beings told the children their names. The beings told the children their names. They were sorry, this killed me, okay. Their names were Ugo, Bancho, Gus, bud, It's got and Crispin. Where did you get these names from? I feel like they spent some time in Mexico and then they were like, I want to be Buncho, I want to be Ugle ns beIN. I think they were in. Maybe they were, yeah, but this is what they said their names were. And I love it. I love it. I especially love Chrispin. Yeah me too. The children also described the monitos as having difficulty walking, like their legs were rigid and with three fingers on each hand. And the kids saw or encountered these monitos several times, and through these times they they said that they never experienced lost time like others who have had like alleged alien encounters have said happens with the lost time. Eventually, newspapers of the time got a wind of the story the kids were saying, and of the drawing they made depicting these monitos, and so they went into town to investigate, and they were like reporting everything, and so eventually like a bunch of reporters like all over the world. So yeah, there was like people from all over the world like resharing this story. But these initial investigators figured that the kids were lying, especially because there was no lost time, and they were like, no, this isn't like other alien stories. We don't believe you. But then more people reported seeing the strange red lights in the sky, and then other kids kept saying that they were seeing the same things these monitos, and the original four kids that had seen these things said that at the end of November nineteen eighty seven, the monitos went to them and told them that they were leaving, but that they would return later to continue their studies planet Earth. And then the inhabitants of Maoki they started saying that they they started saying that NASA was sending people to Mayoki, which then spread like wildfire, and people kept repotting. A sudden surge of gringos in trucks in the pueblo, Oh my god. And to them, this could only be NASA. No one else would be there in trucks, like, yeah, all these white people in trucks automatically NASA. A reporter for el Eraldo, the Chiawa, who initially was the first one to arrive to Moyoki and talk to these kids, and he's the one who was like, no, this isn't true. He was interviewed in two thousand and nine about this. He's like alienstannact like this, yeah. True. He was like, I'm just doing my job, but I never saw anything myself, And he told the interviewee he saw no evidence that the monitos ever existed. The only picture he was ever able to get were the pictures of the holes in the ground that the kids supposedly saw that alien creatures emerged from. And he believed that this was just the kid's stories running wild or mass hysteria. And he never saw trucks, a surge of gringos and trucks, nor did he believe that NASA would go and investigate this. He's like, why where did they go? And then I was like, I wasn't purposely spreading this story. It's just that they told me to go investigate, and I wasting. Yeah I did. I went and I was reporting when I was being told. But either the kids are saying this. Yeah. And then another witness named Dianam, who was friends with Willy, she came forward and she said that one time Willie took her to go see the monitos and that one of the monitos had bit Willi And so then they went to the clinic and the doctor there told them it was like a spider bite or something. Others believed that what the kids saw were actually frogs, and then their imaginations ran wild, and especially because they had been raining for several days in a row. And I guess that brings frogs out. I don't know. I don't know anything about frogs. I'm not a frog expert. Yeah, this is just what what the source said. Either way, Mioki has become a tourist destination because of the story. And they have this event where you can go and paint like a ceramic monito, and they called it something like paint the Monito and then you see all these little painted Monitos all over Milki. But so they look like this, it's very close. I'll show you. I think we need to go paint our own monitos. You know what, I think? You're right, Yeah, you'll see these painted monitos all over Milky. And so, like there was another resurgence of this legend because one of the witnesses wound up dead in his home in the like late two thousands, I want to say, And it was Willie. He didn't live in a Milky anymore. But when he was found there was cuts all over him, like gold lines. Yeah, not super deep, like just a bunch of straight lines that were strange to people. And so he had all these lacerations on him, and then his organs weren't missing, and they said that his blood had been drained. And so people were like attributing this to the aliens. Yeah, to the monitos. Wow, And that's actually not true. That was an urban legend that was spread about poor Willie. Can you imagine that? Wait, so he wasn't even dead, he was dead in reality, he was wrong than just stabbed um multiple times. I mean, that's that sucks that he that happened to him, and then his family had to be like hearing, probably like neighbors being like, oh did you know, like bit she was robbed? Okay, yeah, yeah, so his organs were intaxes. He was not drained of his blood. Wow. Someone just made this up and run with it. Yeah, and then it was spread. So I want to make it clear that that's not what happened. The money didn't come back for WILLI, which is what was being spread. Were insinuated. But yeah, the story of the Monitos has been attributed to mass hysteria. But some people really, you know, they believe something happened in Miochi. Interesting, what do you think? I think it does? Are real? I don't believe they came back for WILLI, but I don't believe. I don't think that. Yeah, I believe in Google Pancho, Gispin, Crispin. Oh, Crispin. We got the other ones. In fact, justice for them. Google Pancho, gaspad and and Crispin. They did nothing of the sports. They were never Yeah, they were very nice to the four kids. Yeah, they talked to them. They were like, where you're just study? We like the guys. Yeah, the same names. See Pancho but yeah, those were just some stories from Chihuaha. This would have been a longer episode, but my ass wasn't able to make it happen. So yeah, you know you we're not out of time. I'm thinking, we're all. I'm thinking though of doing a Chihuahua Part two because there's still way more stories and then does it. Yes, we'll also do a case because there's also, unfortunately so many true crime cases from Chihuahua, so we can do both. We can do both for next episode. We'll rearrange our schedule a little bit. Y'all. We are planners now, we are organized curlies. We have a schedule. We sat down on topics up until mid March. Mid March, can you bel for us? No, it's huge because like sadly, what all almost always happens is the two days before we're like, do we have notes? Oh my god, scrambling, scrambling. Yeah, and then once in a while we'll be like, let's do these set of notes. And that's the big episodes that have like a ton of parts. Those are those ones that were actually planned, so like the Gloriabi ones, all the like uh true crime cases in Mexico, like those episodes were all planned and like actually not rushed. But sometimes we're just like, yeah, we don't I don't know, I don't know what is going on. But no, this year we're gonna be organized. So yeah, yeah, okay, let's uh take a little break here and then we'lc come back with spooky recommendations and we're back. Do you have any spooky recommendations? I don't think I do. I started listening to a book and then for some reason, I'm not listening to as much audiobooks. Oh well, I've been going on walks. That's why. Oh, that's why. So the loan is about to expire, and I don't listen into like ten percent of it. But it seemed interesting. It was like the Call the Devil three times, No, it was. It seemed interesting. It's like a different timeframes, generational oh story. So I think I'm gonna borrow it again because there was no whole no one else got, so you can like extend it and actually finish it. Okay, Okay. I watched Pogonia, and it's more adjacent, spooky adjacent because it's a thriller. I didn't even know it was a thriller. I had no idea what it was about. Oh, all I knew is that I mustn't shave her head. That's it, And that jesse Plement's one of my favorite white men, was in it. That's all I knew, dude. But it's an eco thriller, ego ego like like, oh, I didn't know you were calling ego or ego echo with the sea. I didn't know it was an ego thriller. How so well, jesse Plemon's character convinces he's like a low income bee keeper hobbyists who works like at a what you could say would be like an Amazon warehouse pharmacy but for like medicine. Okay, actually Amazon does have a pharmacy, so you could say like that, but like a pharmaceutical company's warehouse basically something like that, where he's just packaging orders. So it's a low income job. He and his cousin both rb keepers and they're the only ones in this house, so they jesse Plemon's characters that convinced that like a weird conspiracy nut type person where all they listen to is like people talking about reptilians and Okayans, And so he's convinced that the ceo of his A CEO is responsible for the bees dying, that they've released this like chemical into the way, and like, that's partially true. You can blame Santo, yeah, for the danger in the bees. That's that's not a lie. However, he takes it to a whole other level. He makes a plan with his cousin who kidnap the ceo is a Stone. Yeah, and first you think, I thought Emma Stone was like a baby who grew really fast. That's all this is about. I thought, Mark, are you wait? Are you talking about talking about? Okay, what's up? She thought she was Benjamin Button, but reverse, Yeah, there's a movie I thought where she Oh, shoot, do you know what I'm talking about? About? Poor things? Oh my god. This whole time I thought that was Bogia. And that's why I didn't want to watch, because she was in that movie and I can't watch that. That's why when you said it was a thriller, I was like, that's a thriller. Yeah, that's Emma Stone, Margaret Quayley, William Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, you're talking about oh my same director? Oh that I didn't know. But okay, now it makes more sense. Why I was confused, thought, wow, and so the deployment is not in Pogonia. I mean he's not important things. He isn't Pogonia. Yeah, and uh, Emma Stone is not a baby, she's a CEO. This whole time I thought. And I was like, I thought that was set like in a weird time, like the other one, poor things. Like I was like, what do you mean a corporation a ceo? Recent. Yeah, they're so weird in that movie. It just can't be right. No, no, no, And so yeah, they kidnap her because they blame her for the conditions. Okay, well not interested. Yeah, I'm watch it. Like I kept telling you, I'm pretty sure you will like Pegonia, and it was like, no, she's an alien, she's a baby alien. I'm not gonna spoil more than that to everyone else. But so yeah, I had a great time watching it. I do feel like this would have been a fun movie in the theaters, just because the soundtrack, the sound design is so fun. It's like very it has very funny moments, but it's also very dark. And so there's parts where like Jesse Plemons is like, I don't know, chasing her or something like that, and then the music is like this is like very exaggerated, like I don't know, like a string instrument. I don't know these terms, like like imagine like bugs Bunny in the opera when he's like that type of music is very exaggerated. But it's so fun. So I think this would have been a fun one to watch the movie theaters. Obviously I didn't, but it was still very fun to watch at home, so I do recommend it. Also again, if Jesse Plemmons is in it, and most of the time, if Emma Stone is in it, I will watch it. I haven't watched, so I'm not watching that. You know what it is. It's the way her eyebrows are done, and then movie in her creepy long hair. I can't watch it. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's giving the girl from the Ring. Yes, yeah, yeah, with very thick eyebrows. But yeah. That brings us to the end of the episode.
